Method for evaluation of tissue preservation solution
First Claim
1. A method for evaluating preservative effect of a tissue preservation solution for preserving mammalian tissue in a live state, comprising immersing a live mammalian tissue introduced with a luciferase gene in the tissue preservation solution, measuring a luminescence level by the luciferase gene in the tissue after immersion by contacting the tissue with a substrate solution containing luciferin and not containing ATP, and evaluating the effect of the tissue preservation solution to preserve the mammalian tissue in a live state based on the luminescence.

Abstract
The present invention provides a method for evaluating preservative effect of a tissue preservation solution, comprising immersing a mammalian tissue introduced with a luminescence or fluorescence labeling gene in the tissue preservation solution, measuring a luminescence or fluorescence level by the labeling gene in the tissue after immersion, and evaluating the preservative effect of the tissue preservation solution based on the luminescence or fluorescence level.

9. A method of producing a tissue preservation solution for preserving mammalian tissue in a live state having a confirmed preservative effect, comprising the following steps:
-
(I) mixing constituent components of a desired tissue preservation solution for preserving mammalian tissue in a live state to give the tissue preservation solution; (II) separating a part of the tissue preservation solution obtained in (I) as a sample; (III) immersing a live mammalian tissue introduced with a luciferase gene in the sample separated in (II); (IV) measuring the level of luminescence by the luciferase gene in the tissue after immersion by contacting the tissue with a substrate solution containing luciferin and not containing ATP; (V) evaluating the effect of the sample to preserve the mammalian tissue in a live state based on the luminescence level; and (VI) obtaining, as a tissue preservation solution with confirmed effect of preserving the mammalian tissue in a live state, the tissue preservation solution from which the sample confirmed to have the desired preservative effect in (V) derives.
